Our robotics club is a town team. It is five years old, with kids from the first to twelfth grade. A student from the sixth grade invented the name of the team while watching the keyboard of the computer. These are the first letters of the left upper part of the keyboard. We gather together twice a week and work in groups. We do LEGO-robotics. We first construct robots and after that we program them for specific tasks and missions to help people. During the meetings we work and have fun. We often play team games or compete with the robots that we constructed. Once a month we organize sumo fights. On celebrations we take part with our robots. We like to show the constructed by us mechanisms and the programmes to students from our and other schools. It happens when our school celebrates.
